Elephant ears......

a beauty Dotty, lovely leaves

Thanks San by the time it is planted in the jungle it will be even larger lol

Fabulous leaves , I wouldn't have room for plants like this in the winter :o(

will look great Dotty, they really add something that bit different to the garden i think, look forward to seeing it come summer :o)

Amy they get larger by the day, San they will go in the jungle in April if the weather is suitable.

Wow! It looks terrific! I've never seen this plant grow well indoors. Of course, here in San Diego they grow all year outdoors...however, indoors they are subjected to so many bugs.

Thanks Delonix, no bugs so far......just waiting for the good weather so it can go outside.

Yes, they love the fresh outdoors. :>)

Do you ever eat the young leaves on your Taro plant (Colocasia escalenta)? The roots are made into a very popular food where I'm from (Hawai'i), which is called poi.

No did not realise you could, will not be trying it though, every leaf has to count.

Yes, the young leaves taste like spinach, when cooked. The large leaves don't taste so good...usually, very stringy.
